Why is glass brittle

Chemistry
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]3 years ago
6 0
Glass doesn't contain planes of atoms that can slip past each other, so there is no way to relieve stress. It has many microscopic cracks that act as seeds for fracture. It’s molecular structure is composed of tetrahedral crystals so it ruptured easily under stress

3. Determine the pH of each of the following solutions. (Hint: See Sample Problem B.) a. 1.0 x 10-2 M HCI c. 1.0 x 10-MHI b. 1.0
densk [106]

Answer:

a. pH = 2 b. pH = 3 c. pH = 1 d. Unanswerable

Explanation:

pH = -log[H+] OR pH = -log{H3O+]

                    and inversely

pOH = -log[OH-]

1. Determine what substance you are working with, (acid/base)

2. Determine whether or not that acid or base is strong or weak.

a. 1.0 x 10^-2M HCl

HCl is a strong acid, therefore it will dissociate completely into H+ and Cl- with all ions going to the H+, therefore, the concentration of HCl and concentration of H+ are going to be equal, meaning we simply take the negative logarithm of the concentration of HCl and that would equal pH

pH = -log[H+]

pH = -log(1.0x10^-2)

pH = 2

b. 1.0 x 10^-3M HNO3

HNO3 like part a, is a strong acid, therefore it would simply require you to take the negative logarithm of the concentration of the compound itself, to find its pH.

pH = -log[H+]

pH = -log(1.0 x 10^-3)

pH = 3

c. 1.0 x 10^-1M HI

Like the previous parts, HI is a strong acid

pH = -log[H+]

pH = -log(0.10)

pH = 1

d. HB isn't an element, nor is it a compound so that would be unanswerable.

23. Using the periodic table, what is the oxidation number of:
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

a. +2

b. +3

c. -1

Explanation:

The typical oxidation states can be determined from the periodic table based on the number of valence electrons an atom has.

a. Calcium belongs to group 2A, meaning it has 2 valence electrons and, therefore, would have an oxidation state of +2 in compounds.

b. Aluminum is in group 3A, meaning it has 3 valence electrons and would have an oxidation state of +3 in compounds when the 3 electrons are lost.

c. Fluorine would become fluorine if it gained 1 additional electron to achieve an octet, so its oxidation state would be -1.

Determine moles of 1.5g of sodium carbonate.
KIM [24]

Answer:

0.014mol

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Na₂CO₃  = 1.5g

Unknown:

Number of moles  = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of a compound is mathematically expressed as;

  Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}  

 Molar mass of  Na₂CO₃  = 2(23) + 12 + 3(16) = 106g/mol

 Number of moles = \frac{1.5}{106}   = 0.014mol

Which happens when a reversible reaction reaches a state of chemical equilibrium?
Trava [24]

Explanation:

Reversible reactions that happen in a closed system eventually reach equilibrium. At equilibrium, the concentrations of reactants and products do not change. But the forward and reverse reactions have not stopped - they are still going on, and at the same rate as each other.
